Contribution to Adventure Travel Award – Peter Burrell

We were incredibly proud to see our long-standing Managing Director, Peter Burrell, receive the Contribution to Adventure Travel Award! This award recognises an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to adventure travel, whether through being a trailblazer, helping others, broadening its appeal or bringing it to the consciousness of the public. As Pete now heads off to enjoy his retirement, this was the perfect way to acknowledge his hard work within the industry and to commend his unwavering passion for responsible tourism.

Sunday Times Travel Editors Award

We are delighted to have been selected for the Sunday Times Travel Editors Award for our Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

“On April 25, an earthquake hit Nepal… As the news departments covered the tragedy and we on the Travel section reported on the implications for tourism, I remember being struck by how well many travel companies responded."

“But I only have one award to give, and it goes to Exodus: to its management, staff and clients. Its Nepal earthquake fund has raised £225,000 from customers and the wider public; and just as importantly, they’ve followed through by deploying their leaders and guides to help deliver the aid on the ground.”

Exodus is proud to have been nominated several times for the World’s Leading Green Tour Operator in 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the World Travel Awards.
